Figuring out the right gravel depth for my shed base took way longer than I thought
I was putting up a new 8x10 shed and knew I needed a gravel base for drainage. The instructions said 'a few inches' but didn't give a real number. I spent a full afternoon, about 5 hours, moving gravel back and forth, trying to get it perfectly level and packed. I finally called a buddy who builds decks, and he told me to aim for 4 inches of compacted crushed stone. Has anyone else found a better way to measure this without all the trial and error?
